Nationalistic pride.
In the past Chinese leaders have stated publicly that their goal is to supplant the United States as
the world power.

The F-15 was designed in the late 60's as a response to fears over the capabilites of the Mig-25.
The F/A-18 grew out of the YF-17 which was entered into the light fighter trials of the mid/late 70's which were won by the F-16.
